With the Tea Consumption in India falling by 30%, the crumbling down of “Chai Tapris” seem quite unstoppable
“Bhaiyya ek chai”, the usual afternoon line a tapri situated outside any office was familiar with, somehow evaporated amidst this lockdown, and with it, the Bhaiyya as well. Stepping out into the street from their respective offices in order to share that milky tea with a hint of ginger or cardamom was an Indian office ritual. Be it masala, adrak, tulsi, extra milk, green, sulaimani, sugarless for the health-conscious souls or the famous cutting chai - you name it, the Chai-wale bhaiyya had it. No matter where you work and what you do, the one thing common to 'work cultures' across Indian states is having a cup of tea with colleagues.
